Methods of servicing a well bore using self-activating downhole tool
First Claim
1. A method of servicing a well bore comprising:
- deploying into the well bore a zonal isolation device operable to self-set at a sensed location; and
self-setting the zonal isolation device to hold at the sensed location without receiving command communications from the surface;
wherein the zonal isolation device is deployed along at least a partial length of the well bore via an external force.

Abstract
A method of servicing a well bore comprises deploying into the well bore a zonal isolation device operable to self-set at a sensed location, and self-setting the zonal isolation device to hold at the sensed location without receiving command communications from the surface, wherein the zonal isolation device is deployed along at least a partial length of the well bore via an external force. Another method of servicing comprises deploying into the well bore a tool operable to self-activate at one or more locations, and self-navigating the tool to determine the one or more locations without receiving communications from the surface, wherein the tool is moved along at least a partial length of the well bore via an external force.
